Artist: Opera Ignite

Opera? No Way!  is an uproarious introduction to some of the funniest moments from The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan, The Elixir of Love by Donizetti and The Telephone by Menotti. Children discover how music portrays moods or actions in the story and will have memorable demonstrations of opera vocabulary, such as aria and recitative. Students will recognize concepts that will enrich their experience as audience members and will demonstrate knowledge of the singers’ preparation, including the opportunity to vocalize just like the great opera stars do!

"The students adored this program! Days after they were still having conversations about their opinions of opera! It showed them that opera is NOT stodgy and boring. I know they will remember their first positive experience with live opera at school."
– Tami Fire, Fox Chapel Country Day School
